————————————————– —————————
Julio “Palomo” Rodriguez aims to overcome past setbacks and finally win a crucial match with Real Spain. A defeat against Herediano would practically eliminate the Honduran team from the Concacaf Central American Cup.
La Máquina trained at the San José National Stadium yesterday, familiarizing themselves with the pitch where tonight’s game will take place at 6:00 PM. Real Spain has made tickets available to their fans, hoping for more support in Costa Rica.
Considering their loss in the debut match against Chapín Comunicaciones, Real Spain cannot afford to lose more ground in Group C of the tournament. A victory for the Costa Rican team would give them 7 points, making it impossible for the catrachos to catch up, as they are currently six points behind the Guatemalan giants.
Although Real España still has home games against Diriangén (NIC) and CD Águila (ESV), the goal difference with the group leaders poses a significant challenge. Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals.
History is against Real Spain. In the last edition of the Concacaf Central American Cup, they eliminated Herediano with a 4-2 aggregate score. The club, led by Héctor Vargas at the time, knocked them out in the quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw in the away leg.
However, Real España’s record in Costa Rica is not entirely favorable, with only five wins, six draws, and nine losses in 20 historical matches.
In their encounters with the third most important team in the country, Real España has managed one victory, one draw, and one defeat.
La Máquina will face this crucial duel without their top scorer, Ramiro Rocca, who is sidelined due to injury.
